• Mood: severely lacking in Rikerocity

Fucking dilithium crystals. Why do they keep fracturing?

No, I still haven't seen the new film yet. And I'm working this weekend *shakes fist at pointy-haired boss* so I still won't be able to. But here's a meme I picked up from the ever-amazing lenihanfighter that really shouldn't surprise anyone at all:


Your results:
You are Mr. Scott

Mr. Scott 85% Chekov 80% Jean-Luc Picard 70% Geordi LaForge 70% An Expendable Character (Redshirt) 65% Spock 64% Leonard McCoy (Bones) 60% Worf 60% Deanna Troi 55% Data 53% Mr. Sulu 45% Uhura 40% James T. Kirk (Captain) 35% Beverly Crusher 35% Will Riker 35%

You are a fun-loving foreigner with an amazing ability to get any job done on time. Often described as a "Miracle Worker".

Considering that I am an Engineer, and of Scottish decent, I fit the bill almost exactly. *chuckles*

And if you've ever seen me work it's almost exactly like Scotty, true to form. I've made this comparison a number of times even outside of this context. Some emergency happens, and I don't have the time/resources/equipment/whatever to get it all done. I tell the guy in charge that it'll take at least ten hours, minimum, but when I'm forced to somehow get it all done in four without the proper tools I need somehow I manage to always pull through just in the nick of time with just enough time to spare. (Though, like Scotty, the engineer kind of gets forgotten while the Bridge Crew ends up being celebrated as the heroes of the day. Ain't that the way it always is?)

So yeah, obvious result was obvious. But it's also noteworthy (to me, at least) that Riker's dead last. I suppose if there was one Trek character I wish I was more like, it'd prolly be Will Riker. So while that's not surprising either, that part's just a little depressing. Meh.
